Efficacy and Byproducts of Vaporizer
‘Choice of vaporizer to a large extent is the determining factor in delivery efficacy and also in determining the amount of harmful byproducts produces’; this was the result of tests of different vaporizers. Components responsible for the aromatic nature of all medicinal plants, including Cannabis, vaporize at low end temperatures. Talking of cannabis, the temperature at which its components vaporizes ranges from 56°C and goes up to 200°C at the higher end. In order to determine the value of delivered dose, it is important to know the breadth of spectrum and number of actives delivered during inhalation. Systems delivering broadest spectrum along with large amount of actives are considered to be most effective for medicine purposes.
Other proposed factors that might have an affect on output includes temperature, variety of cannabis used, breathing technique, vapor storage time, density, consistency of material etc. However, not all of them have been successful. Research has shown that efficiency largely depends on kind of material used. It can even reduce to half if material is of such nature. The byproducts of vaporization are brown in color unlike to that of black ashes of burned plants. It contains cannabinoids that can be extracted through number of methods like cooking and many others.
